“The majority of companies we’ve seen have gone from a ‘grassroots movement’ type of implementation for SharePoint across a patch-work of divisions to rolling it out across the business as an enterprise-wide knowledge management solution,” says Meiring.

Qorus Software today announced the formation of a reseller partnership with Mint Management Technologies, a South African Microsoft Partner focused on delivering innovative solutions based on Microsoft technology to improve business efficiency and accuracy across their customers’ organisations.

Mint Management Technologies will serve as a reseller and implementation and support partner in South Africa for Qorus Software’s flagship product: Qorus DocGeneration, the industry’s first document automation solution for SharePoint.

Qorus Software has been recruiting resellers in the UK, USA and South Africa as demand for document automation for Microsoft’s document management platform, SharePoint, continues to grow in these regions.

“The majority of companies we’ve seen have gone from a ‘grassroots movement’ type of implementation for SharePoint across a patch-work of divisions to rolling it out across the business as an enterprise-wide knowledge management solution,” says Ray Meiring, CEO, Qorus Software. “As SharePoint takes on a higher profile within the enterprise and a larger percentage of the overall IT budget gets allocated towards SharePoint applications, business leaders are demanding that SharePoint deliver the promised productivity gains that result in significant cost savings. Solutions like Qorus DocGeneration are able to deliver these productivity gains by extending SharePoint functionality from content storage and content management to content creation.”

“Mint has identified the need to partner with best of breed ISVs in order to provide customers with a holistic ECM solution portfolio. Qorus Software was the logical choice for its ease of use, Office and SharePoint coupling and clear investment model,” says Francois Pienaar, Services Director at Mint Management Technologies. “What’s more, their strong alignment to K2 business applications and extensive experience integrating CRM business data into document merging processes made the partnership with Qorus even more compelling.”

K2 is a platform for building workflows and process-driven applications that improve business efficiency “Mint’s track record in developing innovative solutions for process automation makes us confident that they can effectively communicate the benefits of document automation and successfully deliver and support our document automation solution for SharePoint,” continues Meiring.

“Initial responses from our customer base have been very promising. Qorus’s ability to merge content from multiple sources, including Microsoft Dynamics CRM, has allowed us to target not only our existing SharePoint and Mobility customer base, but also our class leading CRM customers,” concludes Pienaar.
